✨ Hello WebP2P!

Admins can now enable WebP2P support for Video!

This allows you to distribute and cache videos among users, reducing the load on the origin and accelerating content delivery!

Big thanks to the pioneering work of @peertube and the funding by @NGIZero

github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/p 🎉

excited for the mastodon rise

@pixelfed @peertube @NGIZero

This is AMAZING. It's like 15 years overdue, too.

Lols when I was at akamai I suggested using the torrent protocol to distribute already built files in a build system and to devs.

Somehow even there they thought the *protocol* was just about "illegal" file sharing. 🙄

@pixelfed @NGIZero

So glad our work helped, that's the virtuous circle of FOSS!

And most importantly: congrats to you! 🎉 🎉 🎉

✨ Hello WordPress!

Like many of you, we are thrilled to see WordPress officially join the fediverse!

We added a special page to FediDB to track #WordPress growth in the fediverse, check it out ⬇️

fedidb.org/current-events/word

Rairii

@pixelfed hey, wanted to mention something about fedidb

fedidb.org/network/instance/lo

this server loforo.com runs a custom activitypub implementation, and also has a custom mastodon api implementation that claims to be 4.0.2

so it should really be listed as its own thing

✨ Admins: We just shipped a fix for remote avatar storage!

tl;dr We reduced S3 storage on pixelfed.art from 27GB to 13GB with a single command 😎

github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/p

#pixelfed

Before (27 GB)
After (13 GB)

@pixelfed Hi! Is there any chance we’ll get a new release soon, or self-hosters should use the main branch instead?

Jan

@pixelfed Thank you @dansup , that reduced the size of my avatar storage from almost 10 gb to 2,4 gb 🚀

@pixelfed I suggest adding a little explanation about selecting a sever.
Something along the lines of
"Leave it on default selection if you don't know what a server is"
Ofcourse you'll have to have a preselected server

Autumn is a season of change, just like your Pixelfed feed.

Imagine a Pixelfed hosting service made just for you.

We take care of the tech stuff. You run your show and own your data.

Want to migrate? Simply cancel, and go on your own, or transfer to other services. You own the server and data.

With Pixelfed, you get the best of everything 😎

@pixelfed
That is a question I often make to myself, if it's a remote server, sure, you are the only one with the ssh private key; but it's yours?
Like stop paying and see what happen, can you buy the hardware and rent the space so you only loose access until you come to get it?
It's nice to see projects like yours trying to make things easier for people!

Oliver :apple_inc:

@pixelfed "Migrate" is a great catch-word 😛 - when does the account migration finally work ☺️ ?

Prosselius

@pixelfed This is something that would tempt me very much. Can’t wait to see it go live.

Are there any more details on the timeline? Does soon mean months or weeks?

✨ What Sup?

We're gearing up for the public beta release of Sup - the open source fediverse instant messenger

Our main app is being prepared for App Store submission, next up is Sup 😎

@pixelfed

I'm really wondering about the priorities your different products have.

Pixelfeld:

- HEIC not supported
- MOV not supported
- When creating posts with multiple pictures you can't switch between these pictures
- You can only change the picture order after posting and then editing the post

But then there's an instant messenger coming.

Micah

@pixelfed Nice! I love free things 🥰 so happy you're sharing with us.

Why did the scarecrow become an influencer on Pixelfed?

Because it was outstanding in its field! 🍂

v0.11.10 is due to be released this weekend!

A full list of changes can be found in the change log

github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/b

Suitbert Monz :mastodon:

@pixelfed Sorry, no developer here. Hopefully Instagram-Import will be fixed with that release!?

pixelfed

✨ Sign-in with Mastodon can now be configured to run even when you close registrations!

Combined with custom domains, this means you can easily allow your Mastodon users to join your :pixelfed: server, even when registration is closed.

Special thanks to @vv for suggesting this feature

⚠️ Account deletion is permanent

We receive multiple requests every week to restore accounts accounts that were previously deleted.

How can we improve this?

Delete your Account warning screen

Bruce Elrick

@pixelfed Make people write a 1000 word essay of how it came to be that they need to resurrect the deleted account before resurrecting?

+>e

@pixelfed offer to download their data before and block the account deletion for a while if they wanted their data first (while disabling the account in the meantime)

Rick Gigger

@pixelfed 1. Have a really big in your face message with "ALL YOUR DATA WILL HE DELETED. THIS CAN NOT HE UNDONE"
2. Have them type that phrase before you can confirm deletion.
3. Have an option to delay deletion my 30 days or whatever in case you change your mind.
4. Have an option right there to download everything first.

@pixelfed Awesome!

As in my older version Storys haven’t been in: is there a documentation how it works? :blobpats:

@pixelfed Wow, the iOS app is smooooth. Nice work.

⚡ People Powered Discovery

@pixelfed Cool! Thanks for all the great work you do!

Secret Lady A

@pixelfed that's cool, but what stops someone else from submitting my account on my behalf? If it is opt-in, there would need to be some check in place to verify the owner actually wants to opt-in

✨ Resilient Media Storage

You can now add two fallback S3 providers that will be used in the event your primary S3 provider is down or unavailable!

Thanks to @NGIZero for funding this feature ❤️

✨ People Powered Discovery

Checkout the opt-in directory we made, it works with Pixelfed, Mastodon and others!

fediverse.info/explore/people

#fediverseInfo #peopleDirectory #activityPub

Cris

@pixelfed @Mastodon any chance this could be integrated into the mastodon app? Especially since this is opt in? Making the feature more accessible would make it more relevant for folks to opt in, help people discover the feature, and make the feature useful for folks who only access mastodon from their phones, like me

pixelfed

✨ Opt-in `indexable` search

We're compatible with Mastodon's new #fullTextSearch feature, and it is opt-in so you have to navigate to Settings -> Privacy and then enable "Include public posts in search results"!

We do not support full text search yet, but it's on the list ⚡

Pixelfed privacy settings
Delta Wye

@pixelfed A question: When we have the indexable search select, am I correct it will NOT include anything that isn’t set to “everyone”? Including:

Unlisted posts
Followers only posts
Private posts (obligatory, but including)

pixelfed

Apple expired all of our TestFlight builds again, we have reached out and are waiting to hear back from them.
